{{family name hatnote|Cho||lang=Korean}}

Cho Kwang-rae ({{langx|ko|조광래}}, born March 19, 1954) is a former South Korean football midfielder and manager. He is the current director of Daegu FC.

International career

Cho was selected for the 1976 World University Football Championship in Uruguay. South Korea advanced to the final after defeating Brazil, Chile and the Netherlands. In the final against Paraguay, he won a crucial penalty and Paraguay forfeited the match after two players who did not accept the judgement were sent off for hitting the referee.{{cite web|url=http://news.chosun.com/site/data/html_dir/2010/09/27/2010092701022.html |script-title=ko:한국 축구 첫 세계 제패는 1976년이었다 |publisher=The Chosun Ilbo |language=ko |date=27 September 2010}}

Cho played for the senior national team in the 1986 FIFA World Cup. Cho contributed to South Korea's draw by providing an assist against Bulgaria, but he scored a fatal own goal in the last match that South Korea lost 3–2 to Italy.

In the 1986 Asian Games, Cho consecutively scored team's first goals in the semi-finals and the final. South Korea won a gold medal in the tournament and Cho selected the final match against Saudi Arabia as the best match in his international career.{{cite web|url=https://www.mk.co.kr/news/sports/view/2010/07/384889/ |script-title=ko:조광래는 누구인가? 축구 인생 '하이라이트 5선' |publisher=Maeil Business Newspaper |language=ko|date=21 July 2010}}

Style of play

Nicknamed "The Computer" for his tactical acumen, Cho is regarded as one of the greatest South Korean midfielders ever.

Managerial career

Cho began his coaching career in the K League after his retirement, winning the league with the Anyang LG Cheetahs and turning a young Gyeongnam FC side, known as "Cho's Kindergarten", into title contenders.{{cite news |url=https://m.segye.com/view/20100426004009 |script-title=ko:경남을 누가 ‘조광래 유치원’이라 했나 |publisher=Segye Ilbo |language=ko |date=2010-04-26 |access-date=2023-10-21}}

Cho assumed the South Korean national team head coach position after the 2010 FIFA World Cup and Huh Jung-moo's resignation. He tried to implement a tiki-taka-esque style of play on the Korean squad, which backfired badly. After losing to Lebanon in a 2014 World Cup qualifier, Cho was sacked.{{cite news |url=https://mobile.newsis.com/view.html?ar_id=NISX20111216_0010019787 |script-title=ko:[뉴시스아이즈]미완성으로 끝난 조광래 '만화축구' |language=ko |publisher=Newsis |date=2011-12-19 |access-date=2023-10-21}}
